2026 Diablo Day 42 - Saturday Morning Juniper

I contemplated a PB attempt to Junction, but opted for a tempo ride to Juniper.

Wildlife Encounter: one deer.

Tarantula Tally: zero

Hardly saw any cars on the climb up, but quite a few coming up when I was going down. Also a club of odd go kart looking things... maybe three-wheeled motorcycles with very low center of gravity. 

Air quality was about the same as last week - not smoky or smoggy, but not that Forrest Febreze, and you could see it in the valley below.


Deer!  Getting mature and solitary.


I see this hiker with his camera most every Saturday morning.

This guy had the physique of a Greek statue. He passed me like I was a statue.





This driver's lucky I didn't smack the mirror off his cage.

The go carts.




Six shifts per kilometer - I wonder how that compares to Tadej P.
